Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen says that the club are going through an exciting period of time.

Aside from building a brand-new stadium at a cost of around £ 750 million, the club have also been able to rise up as Premier League title contenders without investing a substantial amount of money. The progress has been steady and manager Mauricio Pochettino has been a major factor. When Christian Eriksen came to the club in the summer of 2014, Tottenham were largely seen as competitors for the top four places. Now, they are in contention with Chelsea for the title.

The progress has certainly been masterminded by some of the players likeEriksen and Dele Alli. While the former has suffered periods of poor form, the latter has been a consistent name in the Tottenham team sheet.Eriksen, though, is certainly on his way back towards achieving his top form. He has five goals in 21 league appearances, but more importantly he has also chipped in with eight assists.

Two of those assists were in the 2-0 win over Chelsea a few weeks ago. This was the victory that confirmed Spurs’ as the title contenders this season.Eriksen will be hoping to translate this form for the Denmark national team, who underwent a managerial change just a year ago to bring in Age Hareide.

“You can see all the players believe in him [Pochettino] and believe in the club too ­because we are all signing new contracts.Everyone wants to be part of the future of Spurs because we feel there are exciting times ahead. We have a young squad, and that means we can all develop together.I feel more confident this season in everything we do.We’ve had a few years now getting to the know system the manager wants us to play,” said Eriksen.
